A man is behind bars in Johnson City after allegedly firing a shot and pointing a gun at witnesses. Police say officers responded to an aggravated assault call on North Roan Street around 8 o’clock Thursday night. Witnesses told officers a man fired a weapon and aimed it at them before taking off. Investigators recovered a shell casing at the scene and later tracked down the suspect, identified as Reece Chafin, who still had a firearm on him. Chafin is now facing two counts of aggravated assault and one count of reckless endangerment.
